Actually, you may have to tell it in the BIOS to ignore errors, but it
should work just fine without keyboard/mouse/graphics.

Oddly, my laptop (Dell Inspiron 8200) accepts the USB keyboard in BIOS and
in Windows but not in FreeBSD. Haven't bothered to troubleshoot it yet.
You may have to enable a "legacy usb" support option in the BIOS at some
point with a PS/2 keyboard to make this work.
